Prediction: 1-1
Bordeaux
In the opening Sunday match, Montpellier will be hosting Bordeaux at the Stade de la Mosson. Montpellier is 4th in the standings, while Bordeaux is in 7th place. Montpellier have proven a very tough nut to crack this season. So far, they have only allowed one defeat and that was against Dijon in the opening match of the season. In their last eight matches, they were triumphant four times and had to settle for a draw another four times, even managing to keep three clean sheets. Only Paris Saint Germain have conceded fewer goals then them so far this year. Bordeaux are unbeaten in the league in the last five games, with three wins and two draws but fell to two defeats in the opening rounds of the Europa League. It should be an entertaining match to watch. If Bordeaux wins, they will go above Montpellier in the table, but a point is probably the most they could get out of this game.

Keagan Dolly is a South Africa international who was born in Johannesburg on January 22, 1993. Dolly played for the likes of Westbury Arsenal, School of Excellence, Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town during his youth career and he made his senior debut for the Urban Warriors on August 22, 2012 in a 3-1 loss to Moroka Swallows.

In the winter of 2017 the 170-cm-tall midfielder moved to France, signing a four-year deal with Montpellier.

Highlighted Team (Bordeaux):
Founded in 1881, Bordeaux are regarded as one of the oldest clubs in France. Les Girondins won their first Ligue 1 trophy in 1950 and 59 years later (2008/2009) they lifted their sixth domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, Bordeaux did remarkably well to make it to the Champions League semi-finals in 1985, but despite recording a 2-0 win over star-studded Juventus in the return leg, the French club eventually failed to book their place in the final of the elite competition.
Famous French footballers Alain Giresse and Jean Tigana were part of the team back then and it has to be noted that Giresse is the player who made the most appearances for les Girondins (587). During the nineties Zinedine Zidane, Christophe Dugarry and Bixente Lizarazu played for Bordeaux and, taking everything into account, it is no surprise they are considered one of the most famous French clubs.
Nowadays Les Girondins welcome their rivals at Matmut Atlantique, the stadium which was opened in 2015 and they used to play at Stade Chaban-Delmas in the past.
